We see bikes like that from time to time. It's called "Grey market" and as long as the paper work is in order it can be done. Here in PA, you would need a certificate of origin and a signed statement from an inspection mechanic of it's suitability of conformance to applicable safety standards for it's year. The problem comes when trying to get parts for non-US imports. Honda will not ship parts for a Grey market bike to a dealer without you first getting an authorization from the Pope. All the GM bikes I ever did, I had to get creative or contact a Canadian dealer. The 750s is quite different from the 700s. Many parts are the same but critical ones are not. Because of emissions standards (as applied when new) the ign boxes, cams, carbs are different. Still, it's a cool bike, I'd love to have one.

You probably know that the 84-86 750 Nighthawk S was sold in Canada but was kept out of the U.S. due to a high tariff imposed by the U.S. government on all foreign manufactured motorcycles exceeding 700cc's. Also, has anyone imported into the U.S. any other motorcyle, whether it was originally sold or not sold in the U.S,?
